Early Conflicts. Preceding the general election of Nov. 8th, 1870, the interest in the canvass turned on the struggle between the two rival towns. Arkansas City had secured the call. from the State committee of the Republican party. of a county conven- tion to be held at Dexter. That convention nominated officers in the interest of Arkansas City. led by Prof.
E. S. Torrance. County Attorney; Walter Smith. Regis ter of Deeds; H. L. Barker, Surveyor; H. D. Kellogg. Coroner; L. B. Wainsley, Superintendent of Public In- struction; E. Simpson. T. A. Blanchard and G. H. Norton, County Commissioners. The total vote can- vassed was 368, and on the state ticket, the Republican nominees received about 254 votes each, and the Demo- eratic nominees abont 94 each.
It was claimed that, if all the votes polled had been counted, H. B. Norton would have been elected Representative, and that some others of the Arkansas City ticket were in the same categoty. These latter contested, and. after a long trial, the contest court sus- tained the action of the commissioners. H. B. Norton was expected to contest in the House of Representatives. but, when the time came, he was in bad health and Manning took his seat without contest. A great deal of bitter feeling. however, was engendered in this

H. B. Norton, as candidate for Representative in the State Legislature. The Winfield interest called a people's convention at Winfield, which nominated a county ticket. headed by E. C. Manning, for Represen- tative. Both towns turned out their best men for an earnest canvass over the county, and many ludicous events attended them. The returns of the election were canvassed by the commissioners. G. H. Norton, of the Arkansas City Town Company. dissented from the decisions of the two others. Willett. of Rock, and Blanchard. who lived five miles north-west of Winfield. The majority threw out the votes of three precincts, for the informality of not stating in what precinct the votes were cast, and E. C. Manning was declared elected, by a vote of 203, against Norton 150. T. B. Ross was declared elected Probate Judge; John Pattison, Sheriff; E. P. Hickok, District Clerk; Geo. B. Green, Treasurer;
struggle, which was not fully allayed for several years thereafter.
In January, 1871, the survey of this county was made by the U. S. Deputy Surveys, O. F. Short and Angell. This survey furnished a new excitement for the settlers. for the lines of the survey, necessairly, in the nature of things, could not conform with the claim lines. There was a crowd of settlers following each surveying party, with teams and lumber, and when a good bottom claim was shown by the survey to have no shanty or other improvements on it, the first one who got to it with lumber or logs took the claim. Some persons found their improvements surveyed onto the claims of older settlers, and thereby lost their claims. All this resulted in many contests at the land office. but it was remarkable that very little violence was resorted to.

The survey showed E. C. Manning's claim to be the north-west quarter and J. C. Fuller's claim the north east quarter of section 28. in township 32, south of range + east. The town Company's 40 acres was the north-east quarter of Manning's claim. . Immediately after the government survey, in January, 1871, E. C. Manning, J. C. Fuller and D A. Millington formed themselves into another company, called the Winfield Town Association, and joined the south-east quarter of Manning's claim with the west half of Fuller's claim. as the property of the association. This added to the town company's 40 acres made a town site of 160 acres, in square form, and D. A. Millington, who was then the only surveyor and engineer settled in the commity. surveyed this town site off into blocks and lots. streets and alleys. Though the three above named persons

Such entries and dispositions had been made in the cases of the town sites of Wichita and Augusta, and it was con sidered the true way in such cases.
During the spring. new buiklings continued to be built on the town site. stores and shops were filled, and dwellings occupied. It took a long time, or until July 10th. for the notes, plats and records of the survey to be made out and recorded in the offices at Washington and Lawrence, and get ready to open the land office at Augusta. During this time the occupants of the town site began to get restless, and demand that the com- panies should give them more lots free. Some urged that the companies had no more right to the town site

had then control of most of the stock of the town com pany, yet there were several other stock-holders in the company, so that the addition of the town site being wholly controlled by the three men, made it a different ownership, and created the need of the new corporation. the Town Association.
The plan that had been adopted to secure the erer tion of buildings in Winfield, was to contract to give a deed of the lot built upon free, and the adjoining lot at value, when the said Manning and Fuller should be able to enter their claims at the U. S. land office It was intended and expected, that when the land office should be opened, Manning and Fuller should cach enter his entire claim, and then deed the 40 acres of town site to the town company, and the 120 acres to the

These disaffected parties became so numerous as to embrace a great portion of the 72 owners of buildings on the town site.

Thus commenced the famous Winfield town site controversy. On Sunday evening, July 9th, the town associa-

tion got private information that the plats would arrive at Augusta that evening. They, with T. B. Ross. Probate Judge, were in Augusta at sunrise the next morning, the 10th, and the Winfield town site was the first entry in this county. Having made their other entries, they returned. During the next night, the citizens, having heard of the arrival of the plats, went up in considerable force, to enter the town site, but they did not do it.
courts, and failed in the end.
For years whenever a lawyer came to Winfield who desired to make a sudden reputation, he gave out that he was a great real estate lawyer, who knew how to break up the titles to the lots deeded by the Probate Judge to the companies, and could tell why the former attacks had failed. The three members of the town association spent much of their time in reading up authorities and gaining information bearing upon the

FAIR GROUNDS
After the entry, Judge Ross appointed W. W. Andrews, H. C. Loomis and L. M. Kennedy Commis- sioners, under the law, to set off to the occupants of the Winfield town site, the lots to which they were en- titled, according to their respective interests. The time of meeting was advertised, and all parties met Septem- ber 20th. The town companies presented to the Com- missioners a list of the lots, showing what lots were im- proved, and who were entitled to them, and showing that the vacant lots were the property of the two com- panies respectively. The citizens spoke only through: their lawyer, and demanded that the vacant lots should be divided up among the occupants, in proportion to the value of their buildings. After a full hearing, the Commissioners decided according to the schedule of the companies, and Judge Ross immediately executed deeds accordingly. This decision was accepted by a large part of the citizens, who, to prevent further trouble, executed quit claim deeds of all the vacant lots to the two companies. But Sanford was irrepressible, and a suit was commenced in the District court, by Enoch Marris. A. A. Jackson et al., to set aside the deeds from the Probate Judge to the companies as void. The case was thrown out of court, on demurrer by Judge Webb, commenced again, tried on demurrer before Judge Campbell, who over-ruled the demurrer, and promptly rendered judgment for the plaintiffs. This case was carried to the Supreme court on error and reversed, in the spring of 1873. Another case was commenced by ten of those who had quit-elaimed, ran the course of the
laws and decisions in regard to town sites, and the at- tacking lawyers always failed, either in the District or Supreme Court, but these repeated and continued litiga- tions were very expensive to both sides, and kept titles in doubt. A. A. Jackson was the most regular and persevering plaintiff in these cases. No failure would discourage, no difficulty intimidate him. His last effort to get his rights, the last of the town litigation, failed by a decision of the Supreme Court in 1877.

Having now run the political history of Winfield up to the present time, we will return to the carly times, and consider the general history of the county.
During 1871 there was a large influx of settlers, and box houses appeared like mushrooms all reams, timber skirts and valleys, and along the stalong the slopes of the uplands. Prairie breaking was going on to a considerable extent and other improvements were commenced. Corn was planted by chopping into the sod, and much of this sod corn produced twenty to forty bashels per acre. The settlers were mostly men of small means and de- pended upon their own labor for their success, but they were industrious and made rapid changes in the face of thecountry. Schools began to be started and preaching to be heard in various places over the county. The settlers took a lively interest in every thing which looked to the future interests of the county, attended to elections, celebrations and public gatherings, and formed lasting friendships. In September large tracts of wheat were sown on breaking, and the promise was excellent.

THE WINFIELD COURIER
After the county lines had been County Spat Contest established by the government dep- uity surveyors, showing that Arkan- sas City was only four and a half miles from the south line, and six miles from the west line of the county, while Winfield
ART ROOM -- LUTHERAN COLLEGE
was eight and a half miles due west of the center of the county, it became evident that it was useless for Arkansas City to longer compete for the county seat, but was thought that a new town might be started, which might take the county seat from Winfield. Therefore the founders of Arkansas City formed a town company, with a charter, bearing date June 13th, 1871, with D. A. Keith, president, and C. R. Mitchell, secretary, called the Tisdale town company, and pro- ceeded to lay claim to the land about the geographical center. The Winfield town association had been watching for some such move, and were on the ground with claimants and loads of lumber about as soon as their rivals, and jumped their claims. But the Winfieldites did not win this time. The Tis- daleites could steal more lumber in a night than their rivals could bring on during the day, and the Winfieldites gave up as too expensive, and left the ground to their rivals. who proceeded to lay out a town site, built a tew buildings, started a store, blacksmith shop and hotel, and circulate petitions for an election to relocate the county seat. The election was called for August 22d, and a lively cavass ensued. When the result of the election was canvassed it showed 721 votes for Winfield, and 523 for Tisdale. It was charged that many illegal votes were polled particularly in Winfield, and no doubt with much reason, but it was evident that a majority of the legal voters had voted for Winfield, and the result was acquiesced in.
During this year, A. S. Blanchard was appointed superintendent of public instruction, in place of Wamsley, resigned, and E. P. Hickok in place of Blanchard, resigned.
At the general election, Nov. 7, 1871, John MI- Alexander was elected state senator by a vote of 371 to 201, but was not seated because it was held that no election was called for. Timothy MeIntire was elected representative; A. A. Jackson, county clerk; James Parker, sheriff; James F. Paul, register of deeds; E. B. Kager, treasurer; Manley Hemingway, surveyor; E. P. Hickok, super- intendent of public instruction; J. P. Wagner, coroner; and Frank Cox, O. C. Smith and J. D. Maurer, county commissioners. Cox became chairman of the board. The total vote polled was 935. The election turned on local issues, and gave no indications of the strength of any political party.
Herd Law Adopted On April 1st, 1872, petitions containing 1260 names of peti- tioners were presented to the county board, asking that the board should cause the herd law to go into force in this county. This was an act of the state legislature, entitled "An aet for the regulation of the running at large of animals." Approved Feb. 24th, 1872. Remonstrances, containing 199 names, were presented, whereupon, the board of com- missioners recorded the order: "That trom and after May 4th, 1872, no horses, mules, asses, sheep, or neat cattle, of any age, shall be allowed to run at large in the bounds of Cowley county." Since the latter date this county has been under the "herd law."
At the general election of 1872, the vote of this county stood as follows: For president, U. S. Grant 1241, Horace Greeley, 518. For congress, W. A. Phil- lips 1256, D. P. Lowe 1250, S. A. Cobb 1204, repub- lieans; S. A. Riggs 580, R. B. Mitchell 534. W. R.
